Pico Maccario Barbera d'Asti Lavignone 2024

Pico Maccario Barbera d'Asti Lavignone 2024 is a bright, modern expression of one of Piedmont’s most beloved native grapes. Made by one of the region’s best-known family producers, it offers the freshness, vibrancy, and easy charm that have made Barbera d’Asti a classic name in northern Italy.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vivid ruby-red color with youthful purple reflections. The nose is lively and inviting, with aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, blackberry, and hints of violet, often lifted by a subtle spicy note. On the palate, Barbera is known for its juicy fruit, refreshing acidity, and soft, approachable tannins, and Lavignone follows that style beautifully. Expect a supple, fruit-forward wine with a clean finish and plenty of energy. While enjoyable young for its freshness, it can also gain a little extra complexity with a short period of bottle age.

Production
This wine comes from vineyards in Piemonte, where Barbera thrives in the region’s sunny hillsides and well-drained soils. The grapes are typically harvested when they have reached full aromatic ripeness while retaining the grape’s signature natural acidity. Vinification is carried out to preserve freshness and purity of fruit, resulting in a wine that is expressive, balanced, and true to its varietal character.

Food & Serving
A versatile food wine, this Barbera d’Asti pairs well with tomato-based pasta dishes, pizza, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and charcuterie. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C, to highlight its freshness and fragrance. Decanting is not necessary, though a short aeration can help the wine open up if served very young.

Producer
Pico Maccario is a highly regarded family-run estate in Piemonte, recognized for combining tradition with a clean, contemporary style. Based in one of Italy’s most important wine regions, the producer has earned a strong reputation for quality across its range, especially for wines that showcase the character of local grapes like Barbera.
